Check out the character customization in action for MGO.
It has been a day since the horrible experience of being minutes close to playing the beta only for the servers to crash from the stress of the huge army of MG fans. Konami also was caught in the surprise as it did not expected such numbers. Had they not done the beta they would have had a angry mob of Gamers up their company demanding to play.
Some were more fortunate than others like this guy on the video who managed to get as far as the character creation screen. After he finished creating his character the server had fallen and he was met with a error. In my taste it would be worst for me if I got that far. To be able to create my character and build a immense excitement only to have it crush the instant I click continue after selecting my character gear and face. Not only that. All his choices, voices and selected gear was lost since the game wasn’t able to send back the data to the servers. The poor sap will have to redo it this friday. If it gets fixed that is. Konami pointed out that its a scheduled time. Anything could go wrong. A certain Murphey’s law says “Anything that could go wrong will go wrong.” Well everything has already gone wrong so please let us play already.
The character creation is pretty expensive and the video wet my appetite. Please understand that this is a beta and only a small portion of the content is featured. There were many people annoyed in other sites from the lack of faces and equipment. They clearly do not understand that this is not the full game and only a test version to test stress on the servers(their test found out the servers were inadequate as you we experienced) Please give konami a break. You will have tons of options at the full game and even more in each expansion. For now, PS3 beta testers enjoy the game. I am very satisfied with the character customization and am already drawing character designs of what character I will use and with what equipment. I suck at drawing soldiers.
